It was a quiet morning at Tomato Run. I posted at 5:00 and rucked until 6:15. Not much mumble chatter by myself so I listened to some 80’s and 90’s country music on Pandora. It was a beautiful morning. See you guys tomorrow at The Creek.

Doracide 100-Hand Released Merkins, 200-WW2s, 300-Imperial Squat Walkers, 400-Flutter kicks, and suicides in between each. Also, an indigenous run with Merkins and WW2s.
Kettlebell ARMAPs were on the agenda for today and unfortunately for the Pax, the voice from my timer app was not sexy enough. “Work”, “Halfway there” and “3,2,1” were about all it said. I will get Splinter to work on a Circus Maximum version. Requirements: Break wind on every exercise from our Six Have White Deer (missing today) make silly comments, mostly about Atilla, that we ignore Count in German and Spanish Insert “that’s what she said” every few minutes Be critical about form with a little encouragement every now and then. Grumble when the word “Burpees” is heard While…
17 dudes chose to start their day at Timberwolf on the greatest day day on the NFL Calendar…DRAFT DAY! With the assistance of my QB Cheat-Sheet-Sleeve, here’s what went down… Warm Up – Moseyed to the far end of the school to warm up and stretch out. Gave the F3 Mission and got into it…SSH, Don Q’s, Cherry Pickers, Arm Circles, LBC’s, Leg Stretches, Merkins, Wilson’s Wife and Fudd’s Wife. The THANG – Moseyed over to the football field which was illuminated by my truck. What a gorgeous sight! (For about 2 minutes until the lights cut off). The PAX…
16 HIM turned up at the FORGE for another VQ during this week of firsts. After minimal sleep and concerns about timing, YHC gave the usual welcome and intro regarding sensible modifications where needed etc. After experiencing multiple epic beatdowns over the past two months YHC decided he would pay homage to each in some way. Welcomed Gaston’s FNG. WARMARAMA: Mosey around the top loop of the carpark BTTF. IC reps of forwards and backwards shoulder circles, SSHs, imperial squat walkers, DQs, HRMs Alabama prom dates. COP #1: Start of New Glory 10 burpees at the Flag Mosey to 1st…
YHC posted downrange with the South Cary, NC (SCary) PAX today. Pretty cool to do a beatdown in my childhood neighborhood, even if childhood wasn’t that long ago for me. Launch at 0515 with the pledge of allegiance at the shovel flag, followed by a half-mile mosey to circle up for Warmarama. The main COP was 6 rounds of four-corners with each round isolated to one movement (mostly abs) and increasing reps at each corner. Forty curb/step calf-raises at the completion of each round. Welcomed one FNG who was named Cornell because he went to Brown. Ended in COT and…
As temperature warmed up, it drew a group of seven to enjoy the beautiful spring morning. We kicked off with a quick warm-up before diving into the crowd favorite —cul-de-sacs. At each stop along the way down, we did 20 Merkins and 20 two-count LBCs. On the way back, we switched it up to 20 Carolina Dry Docks and 20 Heels to Heaven. We covered 3.5 miles. Fantastic effort all around!
YHC grabbed the Q at 5:29am and we launched one minute earlier with giddy excitement. Warmarama – SSH, Don Qui-Low-Te’s, Copper Head Squats, Ukrainian soldiers, Merkins, Hand Release Merkins, etc. Meatball kept the count on point for most of the Warmarama. Thang 1: Partner up – each person running up and down the steps 10 times while the other person does merkins. Mozey around the track with 15 burpees at the corner. Thang 2: Chabata Time – steps up on the bleachers, 8 rounds. Super Secret Dora – 200 arm circles, 400 squats, 600 toe taps, 800 calf raises. Other…
6 men joined for a Hawt Potato Broga but Handshake kept the Q. We hit all the top stretches. Wilsons Wife, Fudds Wife, Ball Lickers, Scorpion Kicks, Inverted Scorpion Kicks, Calf Stretches. Top shelf material. Glad to lead my first Broga.
Nothing shakes a handsnake like the haunting groans of jorts-sporting ruckers handling huge wood. But by the size of his own tent party it was clear Handshake enjoyed every second of this morning’s SOJ/GTE Ghost Flag takeover. A new record was set as 25 HIM’s descended on First Watch, startling a few locals out of their shavasana meditation and tackling the latest GrowRuck Training regimen, as follows: The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey loop around the parking lot and circle up (more of a rectangle to fit the small space) Welcome & Disclaimer Variable IC Reps to get the muscles warm top…
